what is the military doing over there? if you can convince me with some civilized and intelligent response, then, there would not be any response at all because there would not be this to express it...unless they are working for a world where those who need help get their help by their means, not just those who control us...those in the "evil side" or those in the "good side" who decide where to go and what to kill in order to survive another day in this created civilization founded by death and terror...the basic human instinct...

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but one theory is that, there their to act as bait. in other words, to eliminate as many "evil" guys as possible. That's the only logical thing I can think of at the top of my head.

I dont appreciate millitary *actions* - mostly not when coming from US - and yes, that's me being very silly and basing it on very little - BUT, I do appreciate the military gear and whatnot, purely visually.

So - with that said, this is quite a nice picture - very beautiful in its own senses, I would like a bit more contrast in the picture itself but, still - I like it.

Not only that... but with a radio with such an antenna, he could whip any hostiles to death!(I know that this is for the reception and all, but it's like a SMS whip or something... He could use it and strike even before an hostile can reach him with a freaking long sword!)

~vanderh7 we guard the meetings because the Taliban have attacked them before. The meetings with the locals are important, especially now that we are handing off back to the ANA. *yellowsmoke321 Yes it gets hot wearing around 80 lbs of gear when its 60 degrees celsius during the day

Otherwise, Its a nice image. It looks like hes actually at a coalition FOB or Platoon house, hes standing on some HESCO with what looks like a bunker behind him.
